Automatic price updates update products that are not covered by catalogue loads. For example endlless isle sell prices are never updated by manual catalogue loads. To keep those product up to date, you have to go to automatic price price updates.
- We do not recommend automating loading of flyers. There are too many variables on fliers. It is best to stick with loading them manually. See the loading flyer instructions at the end of the user guide page Updating your products and prices from a catalogue (Loading a Catalogue & Loading a Flyer)
- Should you elect to automatically load flyers, the procedure is described in the user guide, see How to setup product import rules to automatically update flyers

Using price book runs to clean up your product data before turning on automatic price updates
- Run a price book run for all products (see Creating a price book run)
- Add quantity on hand to the price book run log
- Filter the price book run log to only show products where the list price has changed
- Look at the "Difference Percentage" column on the price book run lines. (This column uses a formula newvalue/oldvalue*100 to calculate the percentage change for relevant fields)
- Sort the price book run lines list view by the "Difference Percentage" column
- Review the large positive and large negative changes on the spreadsheet
- For product where you do not want the data to change to match the price book:
- Go to the product
- Go to Settings > Catalogue Update tab
- Set ignore changes to sell prices and ignore changes to cost prices to be true
